Waikoloa Beach Resorts (Hawaii Island)

I have visited the islands many times, but had not golfed until this trip to the big island.

Waikoloa GC was an interesting track to play. The staff were great to deal with and the rental clubs were top notch. Electric cart came with a cooler full of ice which was a nice addition.

Not a really difficult course to play but the windy conditions exaggerated any fade or draw. Apparently the nickname for that area is "Waikobloa' since it is usually very windy.

Pace of play was very good, and I would play this course again.

Driving range, chipping and putting green were in very good shape.

Thank you to the staff for making it a memorable day.

Course was nice but the wind made it almost unplayable. Surprised that for a course in Hawaii they did not provide range balls in the $120 price.

It is an enjoyable golf course. It was such a windy day when I played that gusty wind sometimes blew ball off from the tee. It is kind of a gold course that player can enjoy golf according to one's handicap. Green condition is rather sandy, sometimes ball moves zigzag. It's just 15 minutes' drive from Waikoloa beach resort. Compared to the price you pay for surrounding golf courses, it is a reasonable deal for its quality.

I am a frequent visitor to the Big Island and have always enjoyed this well laid out track. The course is in decent shape and the greens consistent. The staff is friendly and helpful. Johnny’s is a great little stop for an after round beverage.

The weather was misty all day making the round very comfortable1

Overall nice layout, great views. Would suggest a cart person to o be a little more available.

Course was challenging but manageable. Wind was big factor! Greens were super fast! Pace of play really good. Totally enjoyed the round.

Overall was a great round of golf. We brought the wives with us so had 4 carts and they were accommodating. Beverage guy was great and always made sure we had enough liquids. Course layout is great, greens looked like they had been aerated recently but still played well.

This course was fun but I had to miss 2 holes due to pace of play. Seriously, there were three groups I had to pass through. First group was the group I got teamed with as a single. They were totally non-golfers who didn’t know how to golf nor did they understand golf etiquette. They all tee’d off from the blue tees and took several mulligans. After they spent over 10 minutes looking for their multiple tee shots, I left them after one hole. Second group I came upon were a family of 4 who were also beginners. I followed them for 2 holes until they waved me through. The 3rd group were a group of EIGHT guys with loud music playing and who were obviously beginners. I asked them if I could play through and they were kind enough to let me through. For a resort course that charges what they charge, I seriously expected a Marshall out their monitoring pace of play. This experience was the most egregious example of poor course management. I really did love the course layout but it needs a lot of love. Sadly, I won’t be recommending this course to anyone.
